MU: Pocket Knights to get major new update switching up growth and challenges

MU: Pocket Knights second major update is here

  • It adds in a brand-new Rune system and plenty of content
  • That includes a special Halloween event to jump into

Since its launch in September, MU: Pocket Knights has been in the hands of fans for quite some time. According to developer Webzen, reception has been largely positive. However, if you had any gripes with MU: Pocket Knights, this second major update aims to address them.

This update brings significant changes to growth systems and challenges. Specifically, it introduces a Rune system. Similar to those found in other RPGs, runes can be applied to strengthen your equipment and, consequently, your character.

You will acquire runes through standard gameplay, offering greater flexibility in enhancing your character's stats. This is a solid addition that fans with unused gear will likely appreciate for polishing their existing items.

Meanwhile, the number of challenges has expanded significantly. There are now 30 chapters for Battles and another 30 each for Blood Castle, Square of Devil, and Maze of Dimension dungeons, while The Abyss features 20 new chapters. This provides ample opportunities to earn rewards, including runes.

Additionally, keep an eye out for new equipment and costumes. A Halloween event titled "Trick or Treat Rush" is also available, challenging you to collect Pumpkins and Halloween candies that can be exchanged for various rewards.
